You know that joke about the patient who goes to the doctor and says “it hurts when I do this!” and the doctor says “well just don’t do that. That’ll be $800”
I know for a fact (because I’ve made some unpleasant acquaintance) that there are doctors who won’t prescribe birth control because you can just not fuck, right?
i have a rather shit opinion of the medical profession, but it’s just because i tried to educate them. when you forget basic anatomy by the end of medical school (which about 80% of US doctors end up forgetting) maybe you are in the wrong profession

I haven’t, yet, heard any doc like that but sounds very possible - depending the country. I get told I’m being “in danger” for using condoms.
I have been involved in medical education since the 90s. I have met exactly 7 doctors who are not like that. The rest? yeah.
Ouch.
